Supported by the Gerda Henkel Foundation, The Interdisciplinary Centre for European Enlightenment Studies (IZEA) invites qualified candidates to apply for Gerda Henkel Fellowship for the History of Knowledge and the History of Science.
For the year 2025, the IZEA offers two fellowships for postdoctoral researchers for up to three months amounting to 2,300€ per month, and one fellowship for doctoral students for up to three months amounting to 1,600€ per month.
With the new fellowship programme, funded by the Gerda Henkel Foundation, the IZEA intends to specifically promote research in the history of knowledge and the history of science with a focus on the period of Enlightenment, hence, a field which receives particular relevance in current debates in science politics and society more generally.
Fellowship Details
The fellows work for up to three months in their own offices at the IZEA at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg University, and they will participate in the Centre’s research programme. They present their research results in a public lecture and in the blog Café Lumières: 18th-Century Research in Dialogue, which the IZEA operates in cooperation with the Voltaire Foundation in Oxford (UK).
